Dr. Abidin is not only a brilliant physician but also a truly 'good', kind and caring human being. It is obvious that he truly CARES about his patients. He immediately diagnosed and then took care of my lifelong sinus problems, causing multiple bouts of bronchitis every year, and I am always delighted to refer relatives and friends to him because I know they not only will be in most excellent hands but also will LOVE this man as we do. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment!

Dr. Abidin has definitely went above and beyond his due diligence for me. I went to him and in a matter of a day he was able to perform a successful surgery and recommend further assistance. He is very personable, and talks in terms that are clear and understanding. Not to mention he has a great sense of humor. He’s just well rounded and I’m glad I found him.

Dr Abidin operated on me for a rare esophageal condition with serious complications. I consider him a skilled surgeon whose level of communication and accessibility is exceptional.

I am so encouraged by our visit with Dr. Abidin at Metro ENT. My husband was experiencing episodic events of dizziness and sinus symptoms which were worsening. He came to see Dr. Abidin for an evaluation and Dr. Abidin performed numerous in- house tests. Much to our relief, Dr. Abidin prescribed a simple medication and determined that he did not need any type of surgery. We highly recommend Dr. Abidin and his entire team.

I visited Dr. Abidin for a persistent sinus issue and a swollen lymph node on my neck. Dr. Abidin performed a quick examination of my nasal passage and immediately declared I have a deviated septum that needs to be operated on to solve my sinus issue. He assured me he has successfully operated on thousands of patients. I asked about my swollen lymph node and he shrugged his shoulders and said that it was probably caused by the nasal drainage. I asked whether I have nasal polyps and he answered yes without hesitation. He then sent me off with a CT scan prescription. My gut instinct tells me I need to seek a second opinion before committing to any type of surgery. The second doc told me I have a mild deviated septum that requires no surgery and he found no nasal polyps. However, he was concerned about my swollen gland and sent me to get a needle biopsy instead. Anytime someone wants to open you up, consider getting a 2nd opinion. Always listen to you gut. When in doubt, verify!

I had terrible experience with my surgery by Dt. Abidin. I had sinus and devoated septum surgery. Not only I still have deviated septum but I ended up with severe nerve damage and turbinate dysfunction that has made lifr living hell. Look up empty nose syndrome before doing any surgery to your nose. I was not told risk of empty noae syndrome. I regret my decision

Dr Abidin is super relatable and takes all anxiety out of addressing health concerns. An incredibly skilled doctor not only in surgery but bedside manner. He performed sinus surgery on me and Recovery has been a breeze. Absolutely no pain, no swelling, and no bruising! Just an awesome doctor all around.

He is a personable, intelligent, caring professional who was able to fix my issue the first time with near zero side effects. I absolutely recommend him if you have any E, N, or T issues.

Dr. Abidin is stellar. His team bent over backwards to see me prior to starting an MBA, and with a limited timeframe, he was able to fit me in for several consultations, a CT scan, and balloon sinuplasty, within 3 weeks. That's unheard of for a specialist of Dr. Abidin's caliber. Dr. Abidin was caring, patient, thorough, and had a very welcome sense of humor. He even battled my insurance company for me. And now I can finally breathe out of my nose! I highly recommend him. Thank you, Dr. Abidin!

I came to Dr. Abidin having had 2 previous sinus surgeries. He recommended that I have another and explained the procedure and how he did it different and better than everyone else. After my surgery I healed quickly and my stuffy nose issues were solved at last. I still had lingering allergies after that that I took sinus drops and shots for that may have not been needed. Some of the office staff is great, but I had some billing issues with others and concerns they were upselling me so be aware.

He seemed nice enough, but he wound up submitting about $40K of billings for nothing. I hate to say it, but we got taken.

Dr. Abidin performed surgery to remove the bags under my eyes and the sack of loose skin under my chin. The operation was quick, relatively painless and more than a year after the procedure I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Dr. Abidins manner was such that I had complete trust in his ability to produce the results I wanted and that trust was not misplaced. I would add that the cost of the procedure was far less than I had expected. He's also a really nice guy I'd highly recommend.

Simply, Dr. Michael R. Abidin is the BEST. My wife has been suffering from severe sinuses for years & years on daily basis. Dr. Abidin performed a small surgery with consistent follow ups. Thank GOD she is wayyyyy better and the pain is gone. It was a very hard decision for us to make but we trusted his judgement and everything went well. What I really admire about Dr. Abidin is his generosity and patience. Although our insurance was expired,the Dr.was able to see my wife twice with no charges

Great doctor. Dr Abidin doesn't stop until he's fixed your illness/complaint. Our entire family (6 adults) has been his patient for allergies, chronic sinus problems, surgeries etc over the last 12yrs; nothing was ever left unresolved. The entire staff and other doctors at Metro ENT are all great as well.
